"The retired general told a community meeting in southern Israel earlier this week that more than 10% of Gaza’s 2.2 million population had been killed or injured – “more than 200,000 people”. That estimate is notable as it is close to the current figures provided by Gaza’s health ministry, which Israeli officials have frequently dismissed as Hamas propaganda, though the ministry figures have been deemed reliable by international humanitarian agencies."

Trump has unequivocally stated that Israel wont be allowed to annex the West Bank

This is not a surprise as this would destroy any idea of a 2 state solution and a permanent solution around peace in  this conflict that the US is involved in

“I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen,” Trump said in the Oval Office, acknowledging that he had spoken to Netanyahu earlier in the day on the topic.

“It’s been enough. It’s time to stop now,” he added.

The people of the West Bank can trust him, surely.

We can  trust Trumps hubris and him wanting to take credit for ending this interminable ME conflict 

If Israel annexes the West Bank there will never  be a  peace agreement because what would the Palestinians have?

"Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment."

So, King Donald I of Gaza just in case he can't quite make it as Donald I Whitehouse?

First Palestinian member of the committee has been announced: Vidkun al Quisling.

May pair up nicely with Bezazel Smotrich, Itamar Ben Gvir, Benjamin Netanyahu and Tony Blair. Only caveat is that he may be a bit too liberal and namby pamby.
